An algorithm is presented that enables fast deformation of volumetric objects. Using this algorithm, rigid, deformable, elastic and plastic materials can be modeled by adjusting d...
We present a novel method to model and estimate elastic geometric deformations of an observed object, whether they are caused by the object’s own dynamic behavior, or by the dyn...
We present a novel technique for the automatic adaptation of a deformable model's elastic parameters within a Kalman filter framework for shape estimation applications. The no...
Abstract: The theory of elasticity describes deformable materials such as rubber, cloth, paper, and flexible metals. We employ elasticity theory to construct differential equations...

For handwritten character recognition, a new elastic image matching (EM) technique based on a class-dependent deformation model is proposed. In the deformation model, any deformat...
